I have hardware that I purchase from vendors and pay for with a credit card. The hardware that I purchase is included in my quotes to the customer. I would like to apply the credit card payment to the appropriate project as an expense.

Yes, you’re right. You can apply a credit card payment as an expense. You’ll only have to create an expense in QuickBooks Online and indicate the type of card you use under the payment method.

 

I can walk you through the step-by-step process of entering an expense in QuickBooks Online. Kindly refer to the steps below:

 

  1. Click on + New. Then select the Expense.
  2. Select the vendor under the Payee field.
  3. Select the account you used to pay under the Payment account, and enter the Payment date for the expense.
  4. Under the Payment method, select how you paid the expense.
  5. Enter the other following details for detailed tracking.
  6. Enter the expense information in the Category details section. Then, choose the expense account you use to track your expense transactions in the Category dropdown.
  7. Enter the Amount and Tax.
  8. Select Save and Close.
